Voices Of Pa**ion - Countless Voices lyrics

Countless voices cry in mourning weeping with grief and pain Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab 1 On Ashura the family of Husayn caused the earth to shake (x2) It heard the swords clash across the field, cries of Al-Atash Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab Countless voices… 2 Battle over, all the men had gone, no one there to defend (x2) The veils were snatched, j**ellery pulled from ears, Sakina's cry so pure Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab Countless voices… 3 Paraded through the streets and markets to Kufa and Shaam (x2) Oh people did you not know them, they are of Rasool Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab Countless voices… 4 The court in Shaam, the palace of Yazid, tied in chains in pain (x2) Zainab stood defending Islam for us all, so brave Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab Countless voices… 5 The tragedy of the martyrs will live in our hearts (x2) The lessons from those in Karbala, examples for us all Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab Countless voices… 6 So now we stand grieving and mourning to show you Zainab (x2) The sacrifice of Imam Husayn, we will never forget Had I a sword I would defend the veil, oh Zainab Countless voices…
